“The state has explored fencing off the entire portion of the monument along Diamond Head Road. With an estimated cost of more than a half-million dollars and the prospect that people would just cut through the fencing, that may not be a cost-effective or viable long-term deterrent or solution.”
Once the area is cleared, for a half-million dollars you could contract a security guard for 24/7 coverage. That would last for a couple of years. Or, even more cost effective, just a once daily visit to deter and/or clear people out?
The people hired for either of these measures could be those same folks that help the homeless make the transition to shelters. “I’m sorry, you can’t stay here but we do have a place where you will be welcomed.”
